MARKETNG 2506OUA - Building and Managing Brands

OUA - Trimester 2 - 2023

A company's brand will often be amongst the most valuable of their assets. Even start-up companies and individuals need to be conscious of what their brand stands for. The 'Brand Manager' in a large company is responsible for the maintaining and growing the value of the company's brand. This course prepares student for this role, for 'products' that may be a good or a service, a tangible or an intangible. Industry standard brand metrics are used as an introduction to practical measurement and management and the course advances to the theory of brand equity, points of parity and points of difference. Brand co-creation is explored, with particular reference to social media marketing such as Facebook, Twitter and Blogs. The leveraging of brand equity into brand extensions (as with Virgin) is evaluated as a form of growth strategy.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

This course is comprised of 12 modules, over 12 weeks.

You do not have to spend a full week on each module if you would like to progress through them more intensively, but we recommend that you move through each module in sequence (start with Orientation, then Module 1, then Module 2, etc.), as the modules are linked to each other, and to the requirements and timing of assessments.

Key readings are pointed out to you and accessible from within the lesson pages. You can also always find them under the Course Readings tab, marked according to whether they are recommended or optional.

The Assignments tab is where you will find the most up-to-date information on each of the assessments for this course. We recommend that you spend some time at the start of this course getting familiar with the assessments: make sure you know the structure of each assessment and when it is due.

Each week, an interactive session will be held. The interactive sessions will focus on supporting you with the weekly topics and also the assessments. See the Interactive sessions page for details of when these are held.

Throughout the modules, there are also some discussion pages, which provide touchpoints for class discussion of key topics, cases, and issues. These can feed into the interactive sessions, and also provide a way for you to engage with your peers if you cannot attend that week's interactive session. You can find these within the module's lesson sequence, and also find all the discussion pages organised at any time under the Discussions tab.

Finally, keep an eye out for announcements from the teaching team. If we need to provide you with any quick alerts, reminders, or updates, we will make use of the announcements feature, and so recommend that you either regularly check the Announcements tab when engaging with the course materials, or manage your Canvas (MyUni) account notifications (by going to Account > Notifications, and setting your announcement notifications to immediate), so that whenever there are new announcements you receive an email notification.

Specific Course Requirements

As part of its commitment to academic integrity, the University has provided a module to prepare you for your studies. The module is available as part of your Online Student Orientation course, with the expectation that you will complete the module in your first study period. The module contains a quiz.

All students are required to complete this module and achieve a score of 100% in the quiz.

You can take the module and quiz as many times as you wish.

Once you have scored 100%, that score will be permanently recorded, so you can retake the module again for revision.

How to complete the module

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
